What's so funny about this is that the ENTIRE DIDACTIC POINT of the show was "this, too, is America"

a lot of people genuinely seem to think the point of fiction is to be didactic about their specific ideological worldview instead of telling a story
which is fine, but not really something that mass market publishing works on

Explainer: What Is a Didactic Myth and Why It Still Matters?
1. What is a didactic myth?

the thing is a lot of people like bad didactic art if it's nominally for a cause they believe in, even if it's actually not very convincing or effective
i didn’t realize the movie “Don’t Look Up” had so many shooters. people coming out of the woodwork to denounce me as the worst person to live because i’m not a fan of bad satire
It hits to close to home, as you would act just like everyone else in the movie, only caring about your ladder climb to the top.

They claim they want to be a paper for everyone across the political spectrum, but if they really believed that, they’d publish these didactic pieces telling parents not to snub gay children, too.

The didactic method, on the other hand, does exactly this.

Look at all their pop art references to lord of the rings, star wars, star trek, superman etc. They completely miss the point of the most didactic material, the only reason they pretend to like classical art is they think it owns “lesser” people even though this is wholly stolen valor
